Last Night of the Proms

The Proms season comes to a spectacular close as BBC1 takes over coverage. Introduced by Alan Titchmarsh. The second-half programme commences with six short and varied pieces. The Ojai Festival Overture by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is followed by the Humming Chorus from Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Two songs from Hollywood musicals follow - Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and Where Is the Life That Late I Led? from Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate. Gilbert and Sullivan's I've Got a Little List from The Mikado precedes the rousing Liberty Bell March by Sousa.
